Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration. ------------------------------------------------- The Shares reported herein were acquired in connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy on or about January 1, 2002. On that date, pursuant to the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization of the Company under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Plan of Reorganization"), holders of the Company's Allowed Class 4 Claims (as defined in the Plan of Reorganization) received, in addition to the New Notes (as defined in the Plan of Reorganization), the Shares, in each case in such amounts as prescribed by the Plan of Reorganization. In exchange for the issuance of the New Notes and the Shares as prescribed by the Plan of Reorganization, all such Allowed Class 4 Claims were extinguished. Cerberus, International, Institutional and the Funds were the holders of Allowed Class 4 Claims which, in addition to the New Notes issued to them, resulted in their receiving 229,028, 582,451, 219,882 and 182,626 Shares, respectively, pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. All funds used to purchase or acquire the securities and/or instruments which constituted the Allowed Class 4 Claims held by Cerberus, International, Institutional and the Funds came directly from the assets of Cerberus, International, Institutional and the Funds, respectively, and neither Mr. Feinberg nor any of Cerberus, International, Institutional or the Funds paid any additional consideration for the Shares (or the New Notes) received pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.
